Lendemeriella

Lendemeriella is a genus of crustose lichens in the subfamily Caloplacoideae of the family Teloschistaceae. It has ten species. The genus was circumscribed in 2020 by Sergey Kondratyuk, with Lendemeriella reptans assigned as the type species. The genus name honours the American lichenologist James Lendemer, who co-authored the type species in 2012 (as Caloplaca reptans).

Lendemeriella species have an arctic-alpine, boreal-montane, and Mediterranean distribution in the Northern Hemisphere. They grow on twigs, wood, bryophytes, the bark of deciduous trees as well as Siberian fir. They also grow on siliceous and calcareous rock in certain habitats.
